Back the Bay aims to improve the environmental quality of Galveston Bay by increasing awareness about the Bay’s value among the public. The campaign educates citizens in the Houston-Galveston region and focuses on three main goals:

Improving Water Quality

Conserving Water

Protecting Critical Fish and Wildlife Habitats

Quick Tips

DON’T TRASH A GOOD THING.

Even if you're miles from the coast, water from storm drains and creeks all over the Houston area finds its way into Galveston Bay. Stopping litter and harmful runoff at the source can make a big difference.

PARTNERS:

The Back the Bay Campaign

The Back the Bay campaign is funded through the Galveston Bay Estuary Program, a program of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
